Hey, I'm Autumn!
And I'm here to teach you traditional skills that will help you nurture your home and family, no matter where you live.
I'm a wife and mama who practices traditional cooking skills, loves growing an organic vegetable garden, and uses many different food preserving methods in the kitchen, so my family and I can enjoy home grown food during the winter months.
I've been battling Lyme disease for over a decade, and that's why I returned to this life. I wanted to nourish myself and my little family to the best of my ability. I quickly learned that returning to old fashioned skills was the best way to do this.
Doing things yourself is harder than buying pre-made items. But there's something to be said for knowing exactly what you're dealing with. And that's what I'm about!

I love helping you...
Want guidance while living this traditional life? From creating a kitchen you love, to cooking & preserving recipes, plus gardening tips, I love sending weekly emails with articles that will help you on the journey!
We moved from town to the countryside in 2018 and built a little cottage for our family. If you like couples homestead stories, be sure to read ours here!
Everyone thinks I'm a homesteader because I cook from scratch, grow organic gardens and do lots of canning, fermenting and preserving.
And while I was raised on a coastal farm, I'm happy to be living a simpler life on a wee bit of land (2.84 acres), where we have space for large gardens, a tiny root cellar, honeybees and my little flock of ducks and chickens.
I don't do all the things that a stereotypical homesteader does, and you won't find me always pushing for more. Sometimes less is more, and my goal is to live a healthy life, so I can focus on what matters most.
You don't need a farm or homestead to learn the things I teach. These traditional skills will meet you right where you're at!
